Briefings
Starknet launched a seven-day community vote on its transition to a decentralized Layer 1, allowing stakers and delegators to decide the future of the network. The poll results are pending, but any move away from Ethereum's settlement model requires a separate governance process. This marks a significant shift in Starknet's operational direction, as the community now holds a formal vote on its path forward.
Key points
- A seven-day community poll was launched to determine the future of Starknet's transition to a decentralized Layer 1.
- Any transition away from Ethereum settlement requires a separate governance process separate from the current poll.
Context
Starknet is exploring a decentralized Layer 1 alternative to Ethereum. The community vote aims to decide the network's operational direction, though the specific outcome is not yet finalized.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to the seven-day poll results and the statement that a separate process is needed for any transition away from Ethereum settlement. The specific poll outcome is not available, and the exact timeline for the new governance process is not specified.
